In Thursday night’s feature Hogies Cam (Mike Oosting) will open as the lukewarm 5-2 favourite from the two-post.

Roman Punch (Ron Marsh) is at 3-1 from the pole position. Recent claim Midwestern (Dave Magee) starts off at 7-2 from the three-slot, and Power An Glory A (Tony Morgan) isn’t far behind at 4-1 first flash odds despite the outside eight-slot.
